I've been working with SQL Server for the past 12+ years focusing on query performance, database security, and automation, with the bulk of my experience being gained while working with large production environments.
I am a Data Platform MCSE, as well as an OSCP and PNPT, with a passion for InfoSec and PowerShell.
In my spare time I work on PSBlitz, post on my blog, and play around in my home lab.
